She would shatter the phylactery right now, if it were possible to do so. But dropping it alone won't do, which means -- later. Soon, but. Later.
"I thank you on behalf of both myself and my Clan, for what that's worth to you."
Ysalwen does mean it. And perhaps it's a signal to the watchers, too, because the tension in the air eases, just the littlest bit.
